Fraud email example:
From: "Musa Bello" <musabello1@hotmail.com>
Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2005 02:09:50 +0000
Subject: From: Mr. Musa Bello.
From: Mr. Musa Bello.
Intercontinantal Bank Nigeria PLC,
V/Island-Lagos.
Hello,
With all due respect to your personality, I request that you do not feel
disturbed as I know that business of this magnitude will surely make one
apprehensive.
I write to solicit your utmost confidence, knowing too well that we have
neither known nor met each other before, but because you and the late
Mr.JAMES YOUNG has the some surname and from the same country. Having
searched through the internet, from where I got your email address, I hereby
request that you become the Next of Kin to the late customer of our bank,
Late Mr.
JAMES YOUNG, who died in West Africa here and abandoned a fixed deposit of
Twelve Million,
FiveHundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD $12.500.000.00), without a
specified next of kin to inherit the deposit at the time of his death.(Maybe
he did this because of the fact that he was into crude oil deals called)
"Oil bunckering" here in West Africa.
My name is Mr. Musa Bello. I am an accountant and the accounting officer to
the JAMES YOUNG, in the Intercontinantal Bank Nigeria PLC. In the financial
Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the holding bank is required to
repatriate any abandoned fund by a foreigner if nobody comes to claim the
said funds after three (3) years of the confirmation of the death of the
depositor.
For the past three years, all the effort of our Customer Service Department
to trace any relative of the Late Mr. JAMES YOUNG has proved abortive. I do
not want this funds to go into the hands of our corrupt government
officials, who have embezzled our national funds all these years.
My interest in this abandoned deposit is as follows: (1) To see that this
abandoned deposit is not handed over to the corrupt government officials of
President Olusegun Obansanjo. (2) To make you the Next of Kin to the late
Mr.JAMES YOUNG and whom he has willed the said deposit before his death. (3)
To ensure that the deposited funds is transferred to you as your
INHERITANCE. (4)
To ensure that my own share of it is invested wisely in your country in any
viable area of investment. Bear in mind that the entire transaction will be
risk - free and legitimate since the funds will be coming to you as your
INHERITANCE.
If this proposition is acceptable by you, respond to me ASAP but if not
acceptable by you, do not take advantage of it to betray me. Remember that
doing business over the Internet could sometimes be unconfidential. If
acceptable by you, send me your private telephone and fax numbers for me to
call you for detailed discussion.
Reply to my private email to show your willingness to assist me:
musab112@yahoo.com
God bless.
Mr. Musa Bello.
(Accountant, IBN V/Island, Lagos).
